詞義辨析

v. (動詞)
delay v-ing, delay in v-ing
  • 這兩個短語意思不同:前者表示“推遲〔耽誤〕做某事”,后者表示“忘記做某事”。試比較:
  • They delayed publishing the article.
  • 他們推遲發表這篇文章。
  • Don't delay in answering the letter.
  • 別忘記回信。
  • delay, detain, retard, slacken, slow
  • 這組詞都可表示“使某人〔事〕落后于”原計劃的安排或通常的進展速度。它們之間的區別是:delay主要指因某事的干擾而妨礙按時完成或到達; detain主要指耽誤時間,不能按時到達或離開,也可指不能完成想完成的事情; retard主要指減慢運動、進步速度; slow常與up或down連用,指降低進步的速度,強調主觀的意圖和目的性; slacken側重某種松弛〔懈〕。例如:
  • I was detained late in the factory.廠里有事我無法脫身,很晚才離開。
  • Cold weather retards the growth of the crops.寒冷的天氣妨礙作物的生長。
  • His bad leg slows him down a lot.他那條受傷的腿使他的速度大受影響。
  • Don't slacken your efforts when the job is only half done.工作只做到一半時可別松勁。
  • delay, dawdle, lag, loiter, procrastinate
  • 這組詞都可表示因行動或動作緩慢而使進步受阻或工作沒有完成。它們之間的區別是:delay常指拖延某事(如出發、完成必要的工作等); procrastinate常指因懶惰、匆忙、冷淡或拖拉的習慣造成耽擱; lag主要指不能保持應有的速度去達到某個目的; loiter主要指進行中或完成工作時的耽擱,也可指因閑逛而落后; dawdle語義比loiter稍弱,側重閑散、思想不集中而多花時間或浪費時間。例如:
  • He procrastinated in making an appointment to see his doctor.他遲遲不與他的醫生預約看病。
  • The small boy soon became tired and lagged far behind.這小男孩一會兒就累了,遠遠地落到了后面。
  • We don't increase our earnings by loitering over our work.我們靠磨洋工是不會增加收入的。
  • Ade dawdled all the way to school.艾德在上學途中磨磨蹭蹭的。
  • delay,postpone,defer,suspend,prolong,put off
  • 這些動詞或短語均有“推延,延期”之意。
  • delay普通用詞,多指因外界原因推遲或耽誤,也可指有意推遲。
  • postpone正式用詞,語氣較強,多指有安排的延期,常指明延期到一定的時間。
  • defer正式用詞,語氣強于postpone,多指故意拖延。
  • suspend指暫時中斷以待某種條件的實現。
  • prolong指把時間延長至超過正?;蛲ǔ5南薅?。
  • put off口語用詞,與postpone同義,但較通俗。
  • 常見錯誤

    n. (名詞)

      He apologized to her for the delay to reply to a letter.
